Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all are doing fabulously. Quilt Market weekend is officially over, and we’re back to work today. A bittersweet moment, but we have so many incredible memories from the show that we will forever cherish. What a great Quilt Market!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring the stunning Glenda Clutch Pattern by Swoon Patterns, with our Coraline by Camelot Design Studio collection. Coraline is feminine and cool collection of coral, navy, and grey hues in bold geometric patterns. This modern and girly collection would make for the perfect decor for a little girl’s room, complete with tabbed curtains and tossed pillows! The patterns are also wonderful for accessories – a cute cropped jacket or clutch (like the Glenda clutch).

The Glenda Clutch is perfect for a Girl’s Night Out – it perfectly fits your wallet, powder and lipstick, and your phone in a cute little clutch. The simple snap detail gives the clutch a clean feel, with a detachable shoulder strap. We chose a subdued grey drops pattern, and a fun surprise of coral inside. Such a stand-out clutch!

Such a gorgeous clutch by Swoon Patterns! You can also find the pattern for the Glenda Clutch here. And with that, have a fantastic rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are doing fantastic today! I want to wish all of the incredible nurses a Happy Nurse’s Day – we appreciate you, you are amazing, thank you for all that you do.

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are sharing an adorable Made by Rae little girl’s dress pattern that we had sewn up in-house (thanks, Tammy!), featuring our Pastel Me More Collection. Our Pastel Me More collection is just as the name suggests – beautiful pastel hues of blue, yellow, pink, and muted purple in fun geometric prints. The pastels work really well together to create unique color combinations, that are fun and girly. The happy colors in Pastel Me More are perfect for clothing, such as Made by Rae’s Geranium Dress.

We adore the versatility of the Geranium Dress, with the pattern including a range in sizes (newborn to kid’s size 12!), as well as different sleeve options (flutter sleeve, sleeveless, or faux cap sleeve). The Geranium Dress is the perfect everyday dress for your little one to go to school in or play at the park in. It ‘s such as sweet dress that can be worn casually, but also for a “nicer” event…while still feeling comfortable (which I know, is important for little ones!). We chose a blue and yellow triangle print for the bodice and pockets, and a contrasting yellow skirt, both from Pastel Me More. Super cute!! 

You can find the full pattern for Made By Rae’s Geranium Dress here. You can also find more from Made by Rae on her blog, Facebook Page, Twitter, and Instagram. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. As well, Happy Cinco de Mayo, to those who celebrate!

On to this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring another awesome Swoon Patterns project that we had sewn in-house, with our Elixir Collection. Our Elixir Collection is packed with bold purple, navy, and mint hues in fun geometric patterns. The freshness of this collection makes for beautiful accessory and clothing pieces because they add happy pops of color to anything! We decided to use Elixir to create Swoon Pattern’s Vivian Handbag & Traveler.

The large-sized bag would make for the perfect baby bag or weekender tote. The pockets, one located on each side, make for a convenient spot for a baby or water bottle, and the double straps make it easy to carry around. We chose a fun triangle geometric pattern for the body and a more muted, broken herringbone design for the handles and outer shell – a great combination that is playful, but still neutral! We love how this Vivian bag turned out!!

You can find the pattern for the Vivian Handbag & Traveler at Swoon Patterns. It is such a versatile and stylish bag; we are so obsessed with ours!! (psst. Mother’s Day is this weekend!) Elixir will be one of the collections we’ll be featuring at Quilt Market (booth 101), so be sure to stop by to see the Vivian in person. And with that, have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a lovely day. It’s the last day to enter our Sea Life FQB Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter! :)

It’s How To’s Day time! Today we are featuring one of our wonderful free project quilt patterns by Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting Designs. Melissa created a couple of projects for us, one being her Hang Time Quilt. Hang Time is a very cool looking quilt, with 16 blocks together to create a window-like effect. If you choose one colour for the lattice design, it looks almost like “stained glass”. Sometimes with an intricate-looking design, less is more when it comes to patterns…so we love the look of Hang Time with our Fresh Solids. The bright colours gives the right amount of oomph to the quilt, and would look incredible on top of a bed or on a wall. It’s pretty much art! You can also find the full pdf printout here.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a great day. If you haven’t seen yet, we’ve launched three collections yesterday – Star Wars: Immortals, Marvel: Immortals, and DC Comics: Immortals. Yup, all of our bestselling designs from our past collections are BACK!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a gorgeous duffel bag pattern, the Dallas Vintage Duffel by Swoon Patterns. We had the duffel made up in-house with our Botanical by Alisse Courter Collection, and are obsessed with our duffel! We love that it is over-sized because it makes for a perfect weekender bag, or for travelling. Travelling may not always be the most thrilling thing, but the Dallas Vintage Duffel will at least put you at ease when you’re waiting for your suitcases. Yours won’t be the drab, dark one! ;)

The duffel’s pattern was wonderful to follow along to, and the outcome is a structured bag you’ll use for years to come! With our Botanical Collection, it gives the duffel a fantastic vintage vibe. Soo in love with this one!

You can find the pattern to make your own Dallas Vintage Duffel on Swoon Patterns. Another stunning bag from Alicia of Swoon Patterns! You can also find more from Swoon Patterns on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Have a fantastic day!

Happy Sewing!
